RPS Landscape Group

Advancing the art of landscape photography

The RPS Landscape Group (Landscape Special Interest Group) is a friendly community dedicated to encouraging landscape photography and helping photographers develop their skills. Since launching in 2016, we’ve welcomed everyone from those just starting out to experienced practitioners, with plenty of opportunities to learn through making, sharing and collaborating.

We take a broad view of landscape photography — from wild places to built environments — and we celebrate both classic and contemporary approaches. Whether you enjoy careful, considered work or more creative techniques such as long exposures, multiple exposures and intentional camera movement, you’ll find like-minded photographers here.

Alongside a programme of professional workshops, member-led field trips, and competitions, members can stay connected throughout the year through our regular eNewsletter, the Landscape Group Magazine (published every eight months), and opportunities to share work via our Print, Critique, Processing and Project circles.

When we say “landscape”, we mean it in a broad sense — here’s the Group’s definition:

  • The photographic portrayal of all elements of the land, sea and sky, whether natural or built, or influenced by human endeavour.

  • Examples include mountains, hills, farmland, coasts, bodies of water, forests, and populated and industrial areas.

  • Images may be created using traditional or other techniques (including, but not limited to, infrared, multiple exposures, intentional camera movement, abstraction, minimalism and post-processing).

Themed competition

Low Light

There’s a particular kind of magic when the light begins to fade. Colours soften, shadows lengthen, and the landscape slips into a quieter register — dusk and dawn, mist and moonlight, lamplit streets, star-sprinkled skies, and those in-between moments where atmosphere takes centre stage. This theme invites you to follow the glow: to find beauty in silhouettes, reflections, gentle pools of illumination, and the calm drama that emerges when the world is lit only sparingly.

Whether you’re working with a tripod and long exposures, embracing grain and mood, or simply responding to what the night gives you, we’d love to see your interpretation of Low Light.

Theme dates: 1 January – 28 March 2026
